I am honored to have my string quartet
The Winding Path premiered by the acclaimed
JACK Quartet alongside the works of nine of my talented colleagues in the graduate composition program at
New York University Steinhardt. The concert is the culmination of a seminar led by the amazing composers
Julia Wolfe and
Missy Mazzoli, in which we have explored modern string quartet repertoire and workshopped new compositions in live readings. This performance is my New York City debut!
The concert,
JACK x 10, will be held on
Tuesday, April 23, 7:00pm at the historic
Provincetown Playhouse in Greenwich Village (133 MacDougal Street, New York, NY). Admission is
FREE (no tickets needed) and open to the public.

The JACK Quartet electrifies audiences worldwide with “explosive virtuosity” (The Boston Globe) and “viscerally exciting performances” (New York Times) and works with many of today’s leading composers.

My piece
The Winding Path describes a circular journey, moving outward, striving towards a goal, a destination, or a state of being perhaps illusory or unreachable, and inevitably returning, transformed, to where it began. This is my second composition for string quartet, preceded in 2008 by
The Course of Empire. Audio and video recordings of the performance will be made available online.
